1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundAbnormal left ventricular systolic and diastolic function and reduced exercise capacity are associated with worse prognosis following ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, evidence is lacking on the determinants of exercise capacity following STEMI. We sought to determine the impact of systolic and diastolic dysfunction on exercise capacity and outcomes following first-ever STEMI.

methodsIn a retrospective analysis of 139 consecutive STEMI patients who had a transthoracic echocardiogram following STEMI and completed exercise treadmill testing, the primary outcome was to identify clinical and echocardiographic determinants of exercise capacity, and the secondary outcome was to identify determinants of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs).

resultsMean number of metabolic equivalents (METs > 8) was used as a cut-off. Age, female sex, anterior infarction, abnormal diastolic function, minimum left atrial indexed volume (LAVI
